The cougars have been taking John
Hathaway’s sheep lately, and it seemed
impossible to catch or kill the mutton
loving beasts.
The services of J. W Walling were
secured, it being known that he was an
expert cougar hunter, and had a dog
that would drive then to bay
Mr Walling and others stayed out
until 2 o'clock, when the dog scented
the trail. He followed the cougar until
four o'clock in the morning when he
brought him to bay. The cougar had a
small trap on one foot, and this pre
vented him from climbing a tree.
Ernest Ginger took a shot at him, and
the bullet went through the end of the
cougar’s tail, and this enraged the beast
until he began a savage onslaught on
the dog. At this junction John Wilson
ran up within a few feet of the cougar
and shot him through
It killed him
dead, but in his death struggle he gave
a vicious lunge, and swung his murder
ous paw out towards Mr. Wilson, barely
missing him. Wilson run as fHHt as lie
could, and in hie excitement run over
four men
Wilson was on hand at the skinning
and claimed the skin and claws, though II
it is generally considered that the man
who has the dogs is entitled to the tro
phies of the chase.
There is still another cougar with
son,? kittens in the neighborhood, and
Mr. Walling is going to try to catch
them

Tillamook, Oreion
E d H eadlight :—As I cannot find
time to write to each one of my friends
personally in Tillamook, I will write
you a brief description of my trip and
the country I traveled through, for
publication. I left Tillamook May 13,
and arrived at I . a Grande on June 2nd .
I had no serious trouble on the road ex
cept while crossing the Coast Range,
and that was caused by trying to run
my broad gauge wagon on a narrow
gagueroad. I finally got through all
right by hiring two team* to help me to
the summit. Crops of all kinds looked
well between Yamhill and Portland,
but "hard times and no money" was
the cry all along the road. Arriving at
Portland, I ship]>ed my outfit up the
Columbia river on the steamer Dalles
City to the Cascade Locks. There we
were transferred to the steamer Regula
tor end carried on up to The Dalles
The scenery along the river is delight-
ful. From The Dalles we Bailed in our
prairie schooner for Pendleton. We
traveled 150 miles through one of the
most desolate, god-tor-saken countries
I ever saw. Between Tlie Dalles and
Umatilla river the grain is all dried up,
and the grass eaten out by numerous
Irands of horses. Water is hard to get
and bad when you get it. A great
many of the settlers have left the
country and the rest of them would go
if they could get away. I had to buy
water for my team and family. One
night I informed the man I bought it of
that Dan Bowers of Tillamook could
supply hint with water in any quantity
and at prices to suit the times He
said that owing to the stringency in
money matters he was unable to invest
just now, but if times got better he
he would write to Dan tor catalogue etc.
Crops are good on the Umatilla reser
vation, also here in Grand Ronde valley. !
Fruita of all kinds will lie very plentiful
here this year, eepet ially apples, pears,
peaches and plums. 1 am very favor- !
ably impressed with Grand Rond*
valley There ia plenty of every thing
I.ere except money. There la no de
mand for laborers or anything else here
at present, and I would advise any one
in Tillamook that enjoys good bsaltli to
stay there, st least, until time* got
better than they are at present.
I am located 2!4 miles from I a Grande
and am very busy making improve
ment on my plac*. My family and my-,
self are enjoying good health, and are
well Mtiafiied with our new horn*.
With good wish«« for Tillamook and
her people I will close Yours Re
spectfully,

suspected his wife, said he was going
into the country, but instead hid near

As Youman tried to escape the
